What’s the difference between mental health and mental illness?

There are a lot of people who are “out of shape mentally” that are being treated like they have a mental disorder. What most people don’t know is that just like your body can be out of shape or deconditioned, so can your mind, but this does not mean you have a mental illness. Similar to how people train physically to get their body in shape, you can also train mentally to get your brain in shape.

We need to educate people about the difference between mental health and mental illness and how they can address both.
